Benitez Comments on James Incident

Saturday, Jan. 2

"Of course we have spoken about what is, in effect, a private matter," Madrid boss Rafa Benitez said, per Manu Sainz of AS. "James is a good lad and he is a serious-minded person. There’s nothing more to say on the subject. I repeat that this is a private matter. He has given us his account and the only thing we can do now is wait and not judge," Benitez added.
